    "I see what you and your best friend are girls" She pointed at me "An abomination corrupting my daughter! Born a perversion"

"Well screw your perversion crap!" I could feel tears fall from my eyes, why do I have to cry when I'm mad

I barged out the door whipping my tears Sarah looked at me "sorry I cry when I'm mad you do know that" She smiled softly "Of course I do,"

...

 "Hey I'm headin home, Would you like to join me?" She nudged my arm trying to ignore the whispers and looks from people around us, I sighed and looked around. my eyes caught a certain blue-eyed girl sitting on a rock not too far from the well I swear those eyes can end me if it could 

"Um, No thank you, oh, and tell your father I say hey will ya" I waved walking backward, Keeping eye contact with the red-haired beauty. " Will do!" 

I focused on Constance seeing she was picking up rocks and throwing them, " Cons what's up"  She tilted her head to look at me "Schmidt, nothing much" I smirked and sat next to her "So want to go somewhere today?"

"No my sister is making sure I don't go anywhere, And the pastor wants us to go with him later Didn't he tell you this?" She fixes her gaze on her sister staring at her, "Screw that, wanna go to the woods instead?" 

"Listen here, just because you had your tongue shoved down my throat doesn't mean I want to be friends with you" She pointed a finger at me making me throw my hands up playfully "Woah there calm down, I never said anything about that" she rolled her eyes and fixed her gaze on the people surrounding the well.

I reached down in my pocket pulling out a crushed flower from a place I found the other night, "So?" 

"Not a word to my sister got it?" I smirked "Your secrets are safe with me" I took her hand and ran into the woods laughing a little. not knowing what was about to happen

"The dark one has come" Thomas Shouted "To the harvest of the bitter fruit of evil we have sworn, To feast on our misdeeds" He continued as horses whined " And yet you all smile, blind to the horrors around us" 

I walked to the well seeing someone bite into a black apple then spit it out "But you see it now don't you?" I felt my blood run cold "he blocked our well, Clogs it with our sin" I looked at the people who are trying to pull the string connected to the well

"It's stuck," One of the men said, not a few more seconds it started coming up "It rises!" "Yeah, let's go!" The men kept on pulling until a dead dog came out, People started gaging and praying. 

"See? you have already drunk from the cup of darkness" He continued, Merry boy I whispered

"This is the work of the devil, He has come to stake our land" Thomas continued shouting "Who among you has welcomed the devil to Union?" 

"Whose lust" He looked at us, I bit the inside of my cheeks keeping myself from beating the crap out of him "Oh, foolish union, The devil has come and cast his darkness over us" He looked at me and we stared at each other for a few seconds "And his darkness grows within each one of us"

I felt myself shake "Like a rot," Thomas said letting out a small chuckle.

...

 After the incident, I went back home to clean the floor trying not to think about it that much What if it was because of me  why did I let it happen  Screw, you Thomas 

My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door, I dropped the broom and opened the door Soloman 

"I didn't mean to stop by unexpectedly, I just came here for uh" He reached out from his pockets pulling out a leather Sheath with the word S on it

"A small thank you"I took at it and looked at the S "It's for Sarah," He said pointing at it, I must've still had my panic face on when he asked me what's wrong, 

"Can you keep a secret"

....

"That's when I saw something in the trees, A figure" I paced around the room back and forth, 

"Who was it?" Soloman asked his green eyes curious "I don't know it was too dark" 

 "I thought it was Caleb or" I pause "Or the widow, but now" 

"What?" He asked softly, I walked over and sat next to him as I continued "Now we are tormented, The pastor is sick and I feel half-mad, and now I wonder If perhaps something is wrong with me."

"Sarah"

"And always has been Soloman, I never was normal. My own father said so" I cut in "Maybe i was born wicked and strange"

"Maybe it was the devil in the woods" I could feel my breathing get heavier "Maybe the devil is in me"

"Stop it you sound like mad Thomas" Soloman said, "Maybe Mad Thomas was right"

"Thomas is a mindless drunk, nothing more" He continued "Look around Soloman, There is blight everywhere"

"I- I... grant your that, But you Hannah was just a dalliance Sarah" "What if it wasn't?"

"What do you mean?" I looked down "That's why I'm so afraid, Do you understand?" I sighed "Because it was not just a dalliance" I bit my lip looking at him change his expression "I- I see" 

"I can't breath," I said trying to catch my breath biting my knuckles "Listen to me," He said grabbing my hand "Dalliance or not," He whispered "One does not summon the devil by chance, Even the weakest hearts, The most corruptible soul they extend their hand" He whispered "Which you did not do"

"No," I said "You can always come to me Sarah, My door is always open to you" I felt my heart rate calm down, But then I heard a girl scream.
